Janata Party president Subramanian Swamy on Tuesday demanded that the Union government set up a Commission of Inquiry into India's role in the 2008-09 anti-LTTE terrorist operations in Sri Lanka and its national security implications.
The UPA government's refusal to provide heavy artillery and air force support for the Sri Lanka operation against the LTTE had enabled Pakistan to set up a base in the island by providing the requested military assistance, he alleged. Dr. Swamy said that his party would work for the defeat of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam in the coming Assembly elections. He told a press conference here that the political affairs committee of the State unit would meet in Madurai on January 18.
The party would contest more seats on the plank of combating corruption, he added.
He expressed apprehension that the election would see a number of empty promises, including free houses for all. “Whether these promises would be translated into reality, no one knows.”
Dr. Swamy also announced that he would move the court if all the allotments of house sites and flats\houses made under the government discretionary quota were not cancelled by Pongal. “This scam is as big as that of Adarsh Housing Society scandal of Mumbai.”
